Athletic Traditions
Peddie-Blair Rivalry
The Peddie School and Blair Academy represent the oldest prep school rivalry in New Jersey. Except for 1944, when a polio outbreak at Peddie canceled the game, the Peddie Falcons and Blair Buccaneers have faced off every year since 1903. On Peddie's campus, the rivalry has spurred the much-anticipated Peddie-Blair Week, the most spirited week of the year.
Sports Hall of Fame
Since 1986, Peddie has recognized the exceptional athletic feats and inspirational leadership qualities of our alumni. Their stories give us a snapshot of with Peddie athletics was like in their day and lay the foundation for current and future student-athletes to pursue their dreams and make their own mark on an already distinguished past.
